Q1 Spotted at Circuit City

Here in Orlando we're not a backwater but it's not exactly Silicon Valley either, so I was thrilled to finally see the Q1 at my local CompUSA. James Kendrick keeps saying that we need to get UMPC's in people's hands but I'm not sure that encasing the Q1 in Lucite and locking it down to the display counter is the same thing as getting it into people's hands. The unit was priced at $1,099 and they showed the Samsung keyboard with it but it wasn't clear if the keyboard was included. All the sales guys were tied up so I didn't get a chance to ask.
